I put together a "15 minute session" for Liminal Horror anticipating this issue haha. Vendor hall kinda dead? Come to the table and we'll make a character and run a little encounter.

Certainly no telling who this model was based off of. (Granted, Car'das is really only a character in the Hand of Thrawn Duology. He's just the "boss behind the boss" in the Trilogy.)

Blackthorn from @spicytunarpg.bsky.social has arrived! I think I’m going to try and get this to the table during Spooky Season.

One of the interesting things that A24 does that no one really talks about is that they make zines for their films. This is “Not Today Satan!”, a fake satanic panic booklet for MaXXXine, and a version of The Yellow Wallpaper for Backrooms with an opening by Kane Parsons.

My copy of the Delve Deck for Heart arrived. I’m not a fan of the “need” for this manner of peripheral, but I’ll note that it solves my biggest gripe with the system, meaning there’s a higher likelihood I’ll return to run it again.

This is currently what sits at the top of my hierarchy of needs. Can I reach self actualization if I am my own man?

Huge congrats to @byodinsbeardrpg.com for Midnight of the Century! I had a blast with the QuickStart last year and have been dying for the full version to arrive. Got a campaign planned for later this year.

The magic of Bloodborne is that Yharnam feels so much bigger than is is when you lay it out. But someone needs to do a "Roots of Old Kalduhr" treatment for this and make a version of the city for Trophy Gold.

It doesn't. Those numbers are unit sales from their 2025 financial report, which are publicly available. If you factor in all digital purchases like DLC and microtransactions, around 95% of total game revenue for PlayStation comes from digital products. The clip below is just '23 and '24.

The full Kala Mandala line from @munkao.bsky.social, the Southeast Asian medieval fantasy game. Been champing at the bit for this one and only owned the digital, so I was thrilled to get my hands on it.

Bloodstarved from Michael Medaglia and Dark Future. You play as vampires desperately trying to feed their hunger while keeping their true nature hidden. This was actually an advanced copy I was gifted, as it’s actively on Backerkit right now.

For the street cred, this shit’s so serious that 2018’s GOW led to two tattoos. Which has been a bit awkward in retrospect given the whole right wing adoption of Norse symbols, but we can unpack that later.

But holy shit do they love cinematic lighting in that show. So many fucking killer shots where uses someone's glasses to reflect the lighting. Or shots in the dark where you can actually see what's going on.

I miss the wild west of tie-in media of the 90s, where companies would be pumping out the sickest shit imagine for ultimately rather small audiences. Like these come from Resident Evil: The Official Comic Magazine from '98. They were even produced by fucking Jim Lee and WildStorm.

One of the things we're working on for the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition is a series of generic locations that you can then populate with the other pieces of the book. I think it's a really good sign that as I'm drafting these, I've constantly got the "I need to use this in a session now" bug.

Perched at the very tip of my hierarchy of needs is the Resident Evil 4 chainsaw controller. I fear I will not reach self-actualization without it!

For fans of Public Access, this may be of interest.

So Mythic Bastionland uses d12+d6 for stat generation instead of 3d6. This does interesting things to the probability curve, as the highs and lows are swingier but the middle flattens out. If you were to play "heroic" characters, would this be a preferable distribution to you, or is 3d6 better?

For Orbital Blues Month I’ll be teaming up with @chrisair.itch.io and @lurnoise.bsky.social to bring you Paramour, an adventure of lost love and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. Join us for “one last job” in an icy city, dodging corporate goons and bounty hunters. 🔗⬇️

Anyone know how to make one of these type of ragged edges in Affinity 2 in a customizable manner that isn't just a texture snagged from elsewhere?. Preferably a vector brush or something of that sort, but a pixel/raster is fine.

Publisher pretty much already does this anyway if you've got all 3. You don't get access to some of the "sub personas" under Designer and Photo, but you can swap over and get basic functionality without having to actually open the other programs directly.

There's the Consent Checklist from the Consent in Gaming document. I've also seen folks having something similar setup to facilitate Lines & Veils.

As long as it isn't making anyone pay or weirdly gating off the product, you should be okay. This is what one I've mine looks like.

More information I don’t know what to do with: while the basic principles of the concept predate it, the first rendition of what we refer to as the Butterfly Effect appeared in the 1952 short story A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury. This story would be reprinted in Playboy with this sick ass art.

Okay, I’m going to allow myself one critique of games journalism. Imagine thinking that following the structure of the original Jurassic Park is a warranting statement for a 5. The other JP aren’t good because they *didn’t* learn from JP’s structure.

Cosmic Dark launched on Kickstarter today. But the most exciting part of this for me is a hidden detail. Stealing Cthulhu is coming back to print. This book has been a white whale of mine for years now. They’re also reprinting Cthulhu Dark too, so good news all around.

Short Review: The Haar by David Sodergren A book trapped between pulpy horror and wanting to have something to say, without really committing to either. It’s a short read and I’d recommend giving it a go if its premise sounds interesting, but be prepared for the strange obsession with cocks.

The Orbital Blues VHS case adventure collection from @soulmuppet.co.uk is genuinely one of the coolest RPG products I’ve held in my hands. I know how difficult pulling this together was, so it’s just pure love for the game here.

If all goes according to plan and the tech gods favor us, I’ll be hopping on @theweeklyscroll.bsky.social today at 10:30am PDT to dive into the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition ahead of our launch on Backerkit next week.
